Your Gskill should be just fine. I run linked/sync with my a1. "1066 doesn't ring a bell."

Anyone have L726A343 batch?

I have to change out my L727A619 to try it.

[no_n|ck]

Anyone have L726A343 batch?

im wating L726Axxx to arrive ... let me know the resualts, when u got it

[Baron]

I got mine today. Here are some pictures.













and this is the Q6600 G0 that im going to use.




Going to put in my PC in abit on air. Then water later on tonight when I get my PC back on the floor as my case is going off on wednesday to get powdercoated white inside and a custom laser cut window.

[Baron]

Booted up at 3ghz. With 1.4V on air. Very nice.

[Baron]

Here is 3.4Ghz with 1.42V

I will go higer later on tonight when I have my PC on the floor and my watercooling set up again.

Seems like a lot of volts just to do 3.0g. The 2 Quad B3's I tested did 3.0g on Abit IP35 1.24v real.

FPO: L723Z841 Pack Date: 07/27/07 VID: 1.2000 I'm still learning my way with the P5K Premium (just got it to replace a P5W DH). So far I've gotten 3.6Ghz w/ 1.36vcore (real). Like I said, I'm still learning the board as it has new features and I don't know what some of them are..LOL I will report back soon. BTW: Is having a lower VID better or worse?

Having a lower VID is typically better.

L723Z??? didn't know there was a Z available in current batchcodes

I only put it at that to be safe 'cos I knew it would run at that speed with them volts.

[ChronoReverse]

I'm running 24/7 at 3GHz with the default volts. I suspect I could even undervolt it and be able to run it stable. The G0's might not have increased the headroom that much, but it made for a lot more legspace for low level overclocks.

Sorry, replace the Z with an A. I went to my local Microcenter they have 20 on hand but they are B3s...

I had mine at 3.33 Ghz with 1.28 vcore real.

The max overclock stable with 1.10 vcore real was 2.85 Ghz.

[ocZZZ]

I just got back from my microcenter too and they had 6 in stock - all b3's

It's your CPU, but personally I wouldn't crank up the voltage till it was needed. No since in getting it use to
a lot of voltage, to my thinking it might get to liking it & need that kind of voltage all the time just to run 3.0g/3.3g stable.

I did have to crank up the voltage at 3.2 but only to 1.35v (real). This was on air with a cheap heatpipe cooler, room temp 26c/79F.

[TEDY]

damn you baron cause of you other don't have chance to get G0.

[icon57]

clubit sold out too....

[hot_fifty]

trend4pc in germany have G0 in stock

[badboy]

clubit sold out too....

They are in stock now. I just bought one.

[jpcastro]

alo everyone

just received my G0 today, Batch L726A951 tray version.

so far it has pass prime95 at 3600ghz - 1,43v load and 1,44v idle on a P5K-E and 4x1GB TG Elite.

load


idle



also was trying to see if the cpu does the 4,0ghz and voila



i think that it has more potencial, need to do more tests soon

regards

[obman]

Here is what my chip has gone so far.
I am awaiting shipment of my RAM so cant go more than this.
Abit IP35 pro is running memory at 790Mhz which is highest this POS value ram will go.
Stepping L726A852
VID : 1.3250
Cooling : TR U120 Extreme. ( Temp with all 4 cores loaded by BOINC, Prime temp is 1-2°C higher. )

Nice. I have similar rig but am having difficulty OC. Do you mind sharing all the BIOS setup info? TIA

[obman]

TheWolf,
How do you set up Orthos to test all 4 cores? I tried running 2 Orthos but it still doesn't test all 4 cores

fantastic results...great work!

thanks icon57

TheWolf,

to run booth ORTHOS you need to open the task manager, go to "Processes" task and right click on the program (in this case the two instances of orthos) and click "set affinity", then it will show the 4 cores and just need to choose two cores for each instance.

otherwise for me at this point Prime95 and OCCT are better for test because it only need one instance to run the 4 cores.
